Famed Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan’s Twitter account was hacked by pro-Pakistan Turkish hacker group, Ayyildiz Tim, who posted various anti-India tweets to his almost 40 million followers.
The hackers changed Bachchan’s profile picture on Monday night to that of Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan beside a Pakistan flag. They also edited the actor’s bio to read, “Actor ... well at least some still saying so!” followed by “Love Pakistan.”
The group posted three tweets to the actor’s 37.4 million followers, all with anti-India or pro-Pakistan messages, ranging from the condemnation of the “disrespectful behavior of Iceland towards Turkish footballers” to denouncing India for “merciless attacks on Muslims” during Ramadan.
